To the left, a pill splitter. A few bucks, well
worth the hassle it saves. You're looking down on the pill
tray itself, where you put the pill to be cut. At the top
is a cup, that can hold pieces after it is closed. To the
right, the splitter with an ornacycline tablet loaded, and
you can see the splitter in the lid. Just gently close splitter
to cut the pill. Move half to cup, realign other half and
cut into quarters. I store my pieces in the splitter. Do be
gentle, ornacycline tablets sort of crumble. |

Ok, two slightly better shots, crunching the
pill into parts. The debris in the lower right in the cup
is because I pushed a little too hard and half the pill crumbled.
It's still useable, just harder to measure. |

A small ceramic mortar and pestle. Some grocery stores sell
them, and so do health food stores. I paid under $10 for this.
It makes crushing pills so easy. Else take two large spoons
and crush pill between there, grind them a little. I have
one this size for gerbil meds, one for fish meds, and one
for my herb tea stuff. All are marked on the bottom and don't
leave their assigned area. |

| Drop the correct amount of pill in and grind.
This took less than a minute. It makes the stuff dissolve
a lot faster and more completely. When dumping out brush off
the pestle and the mortar and get the powder into the water. |

It looks sort of like scummy weak boullion or
broth. Smells slightly fruity. Goes over well with young pups
about to start weaning though, it has flavor. Dump the powder
in 1/4c water, stir with eyedropper until it dissolves. There
are a few floater specks that stay on top. [1/4 tablet, to
1/4c or 60 ml water. 1/2 tablet to 1/2c or 120ml. 1 tablet
to 1c or 8oz or 240ml water] |
